A course is a course, of course, except when it is a subject. At MIT course numbers and abbreviations refer to courses of study leading to specific academic degrees and, by extension, to the departments or programs offering those degrees. For example, Course 6 refers to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
I’d 100% consider 12/19 to be in the realm of possibility too, though it would break the nine day notice norm. MIT has extended the Regular Action deadline from January 1st to January 6th, 2021 and the admissions office will be closed from December 24th-January 3rd.
MIT doesn’t do academic pre-reads. What the head coach told a group of potential recruits in a summer invitation-only Zoom was that if you end up “high on the board” (in other words, you have the coach’s full support) at MIT, that means your chances of admission become approximately 50/50.

I was recently accepted to MIT's MechE Masters in Controls! I am equal parts excited, honored, and nervous. I majored in MechE as an undergrad but have been out of the field, currently finishing up an MD, for quite some time. I feel like I don't even really know what I don't know, or need to know, to hit the ground running come this Fall.
